Petitions

UC San Diego has policies and deadlines that students must follow. When a student misses a deadline, an exception may be made regarding special circumstances. In considering exception requests, Summer Session must follow University guidelines for granting these exceptions. With regards to refunds, the guidelines state two circumstances for an exception. Per Academic Senate:

Requests may only be approved in cases where

The student clearly attempted to add or withdraw the course by the deadline but technical problems with TritonLink prevented the proper processing of the request;

Serious personal circumstances (e.g. hospitalization) prevented the student from adding or withdrawing on TritonLink or in person prior to the deadline.

These are the only two types of cases that will be reviewed and must have occured BEFORE the deadline. If the student is petitioning for a refund, the situation must have occured BEFORE the refund deadline.

Deadline to submit a Summer Session petition is the end of following quarter (Fall quarter).

Students may not request the "W" grade for "Incompletes" that have lapsed to "Fail" grades. Requests for retroactive drops without a W grade will not be approved. Student may not request a retroactive drop for a course with a W grade.
